The teams are supported by other NUH colleagues, including acute services and radiology

Our services

We provide nursing care 24 hours a day with therapy sessions running between 7:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday.

Some patients may also receive additional occupational therapy or physiotherapy sessions with a therapy support worker on a Saturday.

The therapies we offer include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, neuropsychology and dietetics.

Every patient is unique and will be assessed individually so that we can tailor an individual rehabilitation programme with input from each relevant therapy.
